I work for a wonderful Doctor who is a staunch Democrat and Obama supporter. They just had our biller email one of our Senators about this.
How’s that change working out now? I just hope it doesn’t end up costing my job.
Your daughter is wise beyond her years.
You are blessed.

This will simply start the rationing of care to seniors in advance of Obamacare. Medicare patients will start to find it hard to see a physician and hospitals will start to limit procedures or Medicare admissions. Look for signs “We have reached our Medicare quota and no new Medicare patients will be accepted”
Ever wonder why the AMA, a supposed advocate for Drs is supporting Obamacare? I would argue that this proves they are just a leftist front group since when the interests of the Drs they supposedly support conflict with that of a Leftist agenda, the agenda wins. The same can be said of AARP, and NOW.
“Taking out the “middle man” will always save everyone money...............”
BINGO!!Therein you’ve defined the problem with gov’mt at the Federal, State, and Local level....there’s not enough profit in enough businesses’ in the world to sustain all those fantasies...
“Hoo-weee, Hope and Change. Well, I Hope that people will beable to find a Dr for their care needs after this Change.
I Hope I do not need to Change Drs because of this.”
Good luck to you and the rest of us re keeping our doctors.
Yesterday, my wife, an office RN noticed a sign on the door of another private practice FP/MD noting that his office was for rent starting 1 Jan 2010.
After a little detective work on her part and feedback from friends who were patients of this FP, and staff from that office, she found out:
1. The liberal baby boomer doc who turned 62 last month will take early retirement to spend more time with his family. None of his grown children live at home or even in the same community.
2. He plans to supplement his early SS with what’s left of his 401k after the Pelosi/Reid/Frank financial meltdown, the office rental and selling the practice to a new FP. Good luck on the last two. Medical office rentals in California are not going very well, and since his practice has a lot of Medicare/MediCal patients, no doctor in his/her right mind will pay a penny for his practice.
If this is happening to liberal boomer docs, the conservative MDs in or near retirement will look like East Berliners escaping the wall when there were two Germanies.
Feel sorry for our elderly...no one will be taking care of them except maybe new medical doctors paying off their gubmint loans
